Micro 100 QRR-093-24X Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The MICRO 100 QRR-093-24X is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for cutting retaining ring grooves in bored holes. It features a 1/2 inch shank diameter and a 0.0930 inch groove width, making it suited for tight-tolerance groove work where rigidity and edge retention matter. The solid carbide construction delivers the hardness needed to maintain precise groove geometry across repeated cuts. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this type of tool on CNC lathes and boring setups where consistent groove placement is critical for retaining ring seating.

This tool is intended for internal grooving operations in holes with a minimum diameter of 0.4950 inches. It handles a maximum hole depth of 0.4000 inches and carries a projection of 0.1500 inches. The overall tool length is 1.1000 inches. It is well suited for production machining environments where retaining ring grooves must be cut to repeatable dimensions in steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. The compact geometry allows access to shallow bores without interference.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• 0.0930 inch groove width for retaining ring groove applications
• 1/2 inch shank diameter for standard toolholder compatibility
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.4950 inches for access to small bores
• Maximum hole depth capacity of 0.4000 inches
• Projection of 0.1500 inches for controlled depth engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use internal grooving tool for lathes and CNC turning centers accepting a 1/2 inch shank, suitable for retaining ring groove operations in bores at or above 0.4950 inches in diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on lathes or CNC turning centers. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to the full recommended engagement depth before operation. Confirm spindle and axis motion are fully stopped before inserting or removing the tool. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for grooving operations.
